Geneva and Jim

I had the great pleasure of photographing Geneva and Jim a little while ago. These two are so beautiful and were such a joy to work with. Geneva is a complete sweetheart and working towards being a nurse which I think is so amazing….it takes a special person to want to take care of others for a living. Her boyfriend of four years is a fellow photographer and videographer. I always love photographing other visual artists, it feels particularly challenging.

I love photographing love. It is so beautiful to me to watch a couple be themseles and allow me to take portraits of their relationship. Thank you Geneva and Jim! You two are wonderful.

Laci and Micah

“A kiss is the rosy dot over the “i” of living.”
Love is so special. It is the universal language, it is all.

These are portraits of Laci and Micah, a couple who met in Fairbanks, Alaska (my hometown) and picked up everything to move to Ventura, California on an adventure. I love it when people take risks and make big changes when they want to so I admire that they have these traits. I photographed them on their anniversary and we all enjoyed a wonderful sunset and lots of laughs 🙂

Much Love,

Kiana M.

Cody and Georgi Got Married <3

During my very first internship with a fabulous photographer named Barbie Hull I noticed a pattern about myself at weddings: I am a crier. I was photographing couples that I had never met before that day and bawling behind my camera. Call it being emotional, call it being sentimental, I call it being connected 😉

It turns out that the tear factor is not absent when I know the people either. Cody was one of my best friends growing up. He is the cousin closest to me in age and I love him dearly. He met a beautiful woman and they fell in love and the rest I suppose…is history.

Thank you Cody and Georgi for making me a part of your day. I wish you complete bliss. I am so happy for you both.

Much Love,

Kiana M.
